"Lover" (title track) and "The Man" confirmed. Tracklist is real.

Third single is probably set but I hope it is the most popular one after release.

It's 100% Cruel Summer and it has been hyped up by everyone attending the Secret Sessions. Not that those people mean much after how they hyped the abomination that was Gorgeous but almost everyone says that that is their favorite track on the record. 
Music Video has also been recorded.

Thank you so much for posting those.

She looks STUNNING - I am so happy we are done with the last era and that whole look and feel.

Also, both those lyric samples sound promising.

BRING IT ON!!

23 August - Cruel Summer single release with Lyric Video+ Album release + Radio Deal (like the previous eras)
25 August - Cruel Summer Music Video
27 August - VMA Performance of Cruel Summer and another song from the album

Old Town Road should be well below 400 points by this time. Please let this be the schedule!!

That was a great article. She addressed so many things she hadn't commented on before.

Choice quotes:

“MAYBE A YEAR OR TWO AGO, Todrick and I are in the car, and he asked me, What would you do if your son was gay?”

We are upstairs in Swift’s secret garden, comfortably ensconced in a human-scale basket that is sort of shaped like a cocoon. Swift has brought up an ornate charcuterie board and is happily slathering triple-cream Brie onto sea-salt crackers. “The fact that he had to ask me . . . shocked me and made me realize that I had not made my position clear enough or loud enough,” she says. “If my son was gay, he’d be gay. I don’t understand the question.”

“If he was thinking that, I can’t imagine what my fans in the LGBTQ community might be thinking,” she goes on. “It was kind of devastating to realize that I hadn’t been publicly clear about that.”

I ask her, why get louder about LGBTQ rights now? “Rights are being stripped from basically everyone who isn’t a straight white cisgender male,” she says. “I didn’t realize until recently that I could advocate for a community that I’m not a part of. It’s hard to know how to do that without being so fearful of making a mistake that you just freeze. Because my mistakes are very loud. When I make a mistake, it echoes through the canyons of the world. It’s clickbait, and it’s a part of my life story, and it’s a part of my career arc.”

“A mass public shaming, with millions of people saying you are quote-unquote canceled, is a very isolating experience,” she says. “I don’t think there are that many people who can actually understand what it’s like to have millions of people hate you very loudly.” She adds: “When you say someone is canceled, it’s not a TV show. It’s a human being. You’re sending mass amounts of messaging to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be perceived as, Kill yourself.”

On that: “Unfortunately in the 2016 election you had a political opponent who was weaponizing the idea of the celebrity endorsement. He was going around saying, I’m a man of the people. I’m for you. I care about you. I just knew I wasn’t going to help. Also, you know, the summer before that election, all people were saying was She’s calculated. She’s manipulative. She’s not what she seems. She’s a snake. She’s a liar. These are the same exact insults people were hurling at Hillary. Would I be an endorsement or would I be a liability? Look, snakes of a feather flock together. Look, the two lying women. The two nasty women. Literally millions of people were telling me to disappear. So I disappeared. In many senses.”

Should have been the cover IMO.

Wow, GREAT article! Good for her speaking on these very tough and complicated issues and sounding extremely thoughtful and intelligent.

Taylor Swift Thinks a Hillary Clinton Endorsement Would Have Been Useless. That's a Sad Excuse.
www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a28658135/taylor-swift-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-politics-2016-endorsement/

The early part of this article about how white supremacists congregated around her as an artist (especially at the time of "Look What You Made Me Do"'s release) and how she said nothing at the time, but did manage to find the time to sue someone who criticized her silence instead, is why all her political statements since have come off extremely hollow to me, as if she's trying to please the people who turned on her for it. No amount of LGBT pandering with "YNtCD" or pantsuit-wearing in "ME!" now is going to make me forget that or buy her music again.

That’s disgusting, sorry.

Kid Rock had the nerve to drag Taylor

---

It looks like Kid Rock is in dire need of some attention and hasn't been relevant in quite some time. I mean, he has done movies too so if he is claiming that sucking dick is what it takes to do that, then he is not in a position to say anything at all. Bye Felicia.

[nickd]

I thought the white supremacists saw the Look What You Made Me Do video as some sort of Jewish perversion of white female purity or MK Ultra/Illuminati message mocking them with satanic imagery.

[Caviar]

Kid Rock is such a fucking pig. To think I used to fuck with him.

Couldn't he come up with anything more ridiculous?

That's way more likely, but I honestly want to hear that 3rd single that has been the subject of much hype, so I am still hoping for that song
